Default Hello from Indiana!

Going to buy my first S2000 tomorrow. I haven't driven one and it is literally my dream car. I honestly can't wait!

Where is the best place to buy OEM/Aftermarket parts for the car? There will be a few things I want to replace when I get it.

It depends what part you're looking for.

Alright, so another question. I have driven manual for many many years, I hopped into this S2000 and I stalled it twice.. embarrassing, I know, lol. Is this because I am not used to the clutch..? Or is there something wrong with the clutch?

No offense, but it's probably you! Do you know if it's an OEM clutch? A lot of these have bee "upgraded" with very light flywheels (making it even trickier until you get used to it).


A while back I test drove a CR. It had an extremely light flywheel. I had hell with it at first!

That's okay with it being me, I will get used to it! Lol

No pictures yet, I pick it up tomorrow. It's in kind of rough shape, but not too bad. A few dings and dents here and there, but nothing major.
I live in Leo, right next to Fort Wayne!

Hello from a fellow Hoosier S2K owner. Welcome to the forum. For what it's worth, I've been driving a manual since the mid '70s (enter old fart comments here), and I managed to stall my S2K on the first test drive off the dealer lot. And I will freely admit, I've probably killed it a couple of times since. Totally me forgetting this is not my old MR2.

Enjoy,
Rex

I just got mine too, haven't stalled it at all but shifting isn't as smooth as I like yet.
